P as it's known in NZ has led to a ban on the sale of any pseudoephedrine products in certain regions of the North Island. I remember not feeling well, venturing to a local pharmacy to get some cough medicine etc and ending up on the drug registry!

I won't tell you the heartbreaking stories from NZ in regards to P over the last few years .

Even here it's hard to buy any serious cough medicine without getting a funny look.

Shootingstar, i'm surprised that you'd never heard of such drugs since you live in Vancouver after all!!!
